If I refuse to agree you are right, will you send me dozens of emails, obsessively attack me at every opportunity, make me seek legal advice and then when finally blocked on every possible access point, threaten to turn up at my place of work & 'I like to sit at the front, btw'

Doesn't it seem at all a problem that you appear to be using different standards of evidence here? You *believed* (and acted on) things about Phil based on what others told you; but you don't *know* about Krauss (despite at least equivalent evidence), so you withhold *belief*?
-
No, I'm talking about Phil's email& social media history which are clearly visible to everyone. There's no suggestion someone else did this to set him up. He owns it. He just sees it as OK. Equivalent if Krauss admitted to forcing himself on women but didn't see it as wrong.

That may be true now, sure. Again - I know nothing and this thing seems off (given it, I'm inclined to accept possibility of bad behaviour I can't see). But here (https://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/969624985714216962?s=20 …), it sounds like you accepted the accusation of harassment (a crime) on testimony.

She's accepting his own admission of harassment, no?
-
The disagreement is whether it counts as harassment or not. I don't know if it can be prosecuted in the US. My daughter successfully prosecuted someone who persistently stalked her online & turned up at her work despite her being very clear this was unwanted & frightening.
-
But prosecutable or not, is it reasonable to call a persistent attempt to contact someone who has asked you to stop, blocked you, sought legal protection & threatened to call the police which went on for months & included threats to sit in front row of class 'harassment?' Yes.
-
I think this would be immediately clear if the target was a woman. I remember Sargon getting accused of harassment for going to one of Sarkeesian's talks after having been very critical of her online. I don't think that counts as harassment, myself, but this certainly does.
